I have written a Python3 program to plot and save UV/VIS spectra from

Caveat: This forum is for help on the core Python language
and its standard library. Asking about anything beyond that
may require a lot more information about the context - for
example few of us will know anything about UV/VIS spectra
(even what that means!)
However, I'll hazard a guess...
figure = name+'.png'
print(figure)
plt.savefig('figure', bbox_inches='tight')
Shouldn't the last line use the variable figure
rather than a literal string 'figure' :
plt.savefig(figure, bbox_inches='tight')
where the print statement verifies the nae of the saved figure. The
problem is that the saved file is figure.png.
I'm guessing that's because you are passing the string 'figure'
instead of the variable.
But I don;t know anything about your plt object
or its savefig() method, not even which library
you are using. Is it matplotlib? Or something else?
HTH
That was the problem.
Many thanks.
